Went out yesterday afternoon for 45 min and again this morning . Cold water , no hits Fished from 10 to 30 ft . Saw a few on the screen and some jumpers .

I heard the waves crashing on the beach this morning from my cottage .

Save the money and Get a speed probe / surface temp add on for your depth finder . 40 to 70$ . It's not a fish hawk but will be a huge help. I love my buckets . Would not be without them . I attribute a,lot of my fish to them. And they are free.

That s crazy . A lot of ,in fact most of the hits I get are going into the wave .Mostly because I head west out of port and head to my fishing grounds which are farther than I drop lines . Learn how to do it . Without speed you should be using speed forgiving lures and turning a lot . SOG is pretty much worthless unless you note the direction of troll on the hit and duplicate the direction . Even that is hit and miss because a few degrees either way can seriously affect your down speed .

Ditto on the buckets I use 1 on each side on my 21 trophy w/ 230 IO for 35 years . I posted on here how to make them a while back Tie them to mid ship cleat and adjust rope so they are about 4 ft from the transom running on the sides . They are as big a part of my equipment as anything on my boat and are in and out of the water all day to fine tune my speed . As far a trolling straight , that's on the driver . Driving the boat to get fish to bite is an art form IMO . I get as many hits or more trolling into waves,as going with them .

Finally got out this,morning to easterly rollers . My normal Small boat tactics J plugs program. Started close,and worked out to 40 ft . Really did not see much so made a last pass in 20 ft . One rod went off bounced a few times and nothing there . As I was reeling it it the other hooked up to a nice hen which was released . #4 silver bullet took the fish and #3 green glo took the hit . Went back out for evening run . No hits .

And I'm sure you are more than happy to donate the next 2 months of your salary or pension to those that have had the the rug pulled out from under them for the greater good . You know , to share the burden . Walk a mile in their shoes . Until then , your words don't mean much. Inconvenience and losing everything are two different things. There are risks in life . Americans use to be brave . What happened?

Death from this are way down , or am I wrong ? A lot of the positives are asymptomatic , or am I wrong about that ? People get sick and die every day . From a lot of stuff . I refuse to be afraid of it . Dont be get paid for 6 months , lose what you have worked for all you're life and then talk to me . From a strictly medical point of view maybe you are right to try and save everyone . From a practical point , it's time to go for it .

And thats your opinion . A lot of data and facts saying the other . What's the death toll by itself with no other contributing factor such as obesity etc? It's pretty low . Maybe we should be more diligent about banning fast food and Twinkies . If you stuff you face with this garbage , and wash it down with a 6 pack and smoke a cigarette and are unhealthy , it puts you at huge risk if you contract it . That's on you . I hear that there is a Bill in congress to slash all public employees pensions and health care workers pay and benefits by half to fund the extra unemployment that is needed . I'm sure they will be all for it to pitch in to share the burden . I'll take my chances , there are no guarantees in life .

There are a lot of people going broke and will take a decade or more to financially recover from this.look at all the business going under . What gets me most is there are people who are working and getting paid telling people they can't work . If these same people were faced with losing everything and bankruptcy, they might feel differently . So IMO , it time to open stuff up and go for it . If you are young and in reasonably good health , you don't have much to worry about . And yes some people will die. And anyone who doesn't see this is a political football is blind , respectfully .
